(this is not a high quality video, unfortunately)
Quick Thoughts: As a song that seems anthemic to the genre, an appropriate way to begin a survey of rock music. Seems like the evolutionary offspring of earlier rock songs like "Johnny Be Good". Fun song, though the lyrics are mostly non-sensical.
Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List: 1,000
Total Songs Added to Final List: 1
Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this, along the way, for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
